Abstract :Humic substances promote the conversion of nutrients into forms available to plants. It also stimulates seed germination and viability, and its main effect usually being more prominent in the roots. This study was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in Gobustan, Azerbaijan, in 2021 growing season, to determine the effects of different doses insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0, 250, 500 and 1000 ppm); of humic substances such as humic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HA);, fulvic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FA); and humic fulvic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HFA); on fresh yield and nutrient contents insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(N, P and K); of Eggplant Santana insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Solanum melongena var. esculentum Santana); plants in a field experiment. According to the results of this study, humic substance treatments increased the fresh yields and leaf nutrient contents of Eggplant Santana, and this increase was found to be significant. The highest value for highest fresh yields and leaf NPK contents of Eggplant Santana plants were obtained from 1000 ppm HFA dose. These results suggest that 1000 ppm HA and FA combination to the standard humic substances application will be sufficient to obtain adequate fresh yield and nutrient contents in Eggplant Santana leafs.
